Vince Gill’s Summer Tour Heats Up After Two Weekends

Tour Kickoff Highlights

Country music veteran Vince Gill is already two weekends into his sprawling summer concert run, and fans are flocking to venues from coast to coast. Gill, a multi–Grammy and CMA Award winner with more than two decades of hits under his belt, kicked off the tour in style. His Instagram announcement—”Two weekends down on tour, and a whole summer to go! Tickets are going fast. Get yours today!”—set the tone for a season of high-energy performances and swift sell-outs.

On opening night in Rochester, Gill treated the crowd to fan favorites like “When I Call Your Name” and deep cuts from his 25 solo albums. He later shared a snapshot of that first show, writing, “Great first night in Rochester! Here we come Wilkes-Barre and Reading!” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJcduLVy0J1/) alongside images of a packed house and joyful fans singing along.

Opry Moments And Radio Broadcasts

Between arena stops, Gill made a triumphant return to the Grand Ole Opry stage. He captioned an Instagram post, “Always a good time at the Opry! Get tickets to see Vince Gill and more at this weekend’s shows or tune in from home on @wsmradio.” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJIVhAUy34h/) With classic picks like “Go Rest High on That Mountain” and spirited covers of country standards, Gill reminded everyone why he’s a fixture at Music City’s most hallowed venue.

Gill’s deep catalog and warm stage presence keep long-time fans and newcomers equally engaged. At 67, he shows no signs of slowing down—effortlessly shifting from tender ballads to uptempo guitar showcases that highlight his reputation as one of Nashville’s most accomplished instrumentalists.

Added Dates From Fan Demand

Strong ticket sales have already prompted Gill and his team to add extra shows. In July, he announced via Instagram that “Due to overwhelming demand, our friend Vince Gill has added a fifth show at the Ryman on August 7 with special guest Corrina.” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DH3jQlLOocO/) Corrina, known for her soaring vocals, will join Gill in a rare duet evening that promises holiday classics and summer staples alike.

These additions join an already ambitious lineup of more than 20 stops this season, including outdoor amphitheaters, state fairs and festival appearances. Gill’s tour book runs through September, with marquee dates in Nashville, Chicago and Denver still on sale.

In keeping with his holiday tradition, he also recently teased his annual #ChristmasAtTheRyman residency with Amy Grant in December. That announcement, shared alongside festive rehearsal footage, underscores Gill’s knack for blending seasons—offering both summer warmth and winter cheer in one career-spanning package.

Fans who’ve missed early shows still have plenty of chances to catch the country icon live. Tickets for the remaining dates are moving quickly, so those who want to experience Gill’s signature guitar licks and storytelling vocals are encouraged to reserve seats now.

Gill’s summer run is more than a series of concerts—it’s a celebration of a career that’s earned him membership in the Musicians Hall of Fame, 22 CMA Awards, and 23 Grammy honors. As he racks up encore after encore, the country community is reminded why Vince Gill remains one of its brightest stars.

From sold-out opening nights to surprise setlist additions, Gill’s tour is riding a wave of momentum. With a full summer ahead, the only question left is where—and how many more times—this legendary performer will bring down the house next.
